The Community Impact Awards recognize organizations that make giving back a core part of their mission, celebrating businesses that go beyond their day-to-day operations to create meaningful change throughout the region.

At Alloy Silverstein, that commitment comes to life through Alloy Cares, the firm’s internal initiative focused on volunteerism, charitable giving, and community engagement. Through this program, all 60+ team members are encouraged to make an impact in ways that are meaningful to them.

Through “Alloy Cares,” all 60-plus of Alloy Silverstein’s team members give back in numerous ways. The company organizes one group volunteer day each year, and additionally, each employee also receives five paid days to volunteer for causes that matter personally to them. During the holiday season, Alloy Silverstein’s Adopt a Family program supports 50 to 60 families from Camden to Cape May in partnership with three nonprofit organizations. The company has supported more than 1,700 children since 2013, providing gifts, essential items and joyful holiday memories. Alloy Silverstein also has two core fundraisers each year, taking part in the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women initiative as well as the United Way Employee Campaign, where it pledges over $10,000 annually.

This recognition reflects the firm’s long-standing belief that strong communities are built through collective effort. By empowering employees to give back and investing in meaningful partnerships, Alloy Silverstein continues to support the people and organizations that make South Jersey a place to live, work, and thrive.

Alloy Silverstein is honored to be recognized alongside other organizations making a difference and remains committed to expanding its impact in the years ahead.

“Before Christopher R. Cicalese, CPA, MSTFP, Associate Partner at Alloy Silverstein, based in Cherry Hill, prepares for tax season, he has to get through another season first – The giving season. At Alloy Silverstein, giving takes on a whole new meaning, and “giving back” is something that Chris takes personally.   

Alloy’s “Go Red for Women” initiative which raises funds on behalf of the American Heart Association started the firm’s culture of giving over a decade ago with the help of Chris’s father Reynold P. Cicalese, CPA, PFS, CGMA, managing shareholder of Alloy Silverstein who ingrained a spirit of giving back.  From there, the firm allowed the staff to wear jeans all tax season for a small donation.  According to Chris, “Every year we raise between $3,000 to $4,000.  Since 2007, we raised $98,000 and this year we should cross the $100,000 mark. 

Every year Alloy Silverstein selects a charity to give to and that year staff overwhelmingly selected Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) due to Chris’s connection with the hospital.  They continued to fund other initiatives at CHOP, which is the global leader in children’s healthcare, through its annual Cheers for CHOP event and even hosted a blood drive”
